Ben Entourage opnieuw aan het kijken vanwege de film die in juni uitkomt, zie ik in episode 8 van seizoen 7 opeens Bob Odenkirk langskomen. Het leuke is dat veel beroemde acteurs langskomen als zichzelf, als cameo, maar hij acteerde destijds als een of andere onbelangrijke business partner.

Nu zou hij gerust langs kunnen komen als famous actor haha.

Wanneer gaat het weer beginnen?

Without a doubt, my greatest fear was abject failure -- and that is still my greatest fear. Seriously: I was afraid that the show would go on the air and people wouldn’t like it, and -- worse than that -- people would say it sullied their memory of Breaking Bad. But fear is never a reason not to try something. That’s what I told myself throughout the months of production and pre-production on Season 1, and that’s what I tell myself now. Fear is a good thing -- it’s the fire in the boiler that drives your locomotive, so to speak.

I try to temper the fear with hopefulness, and I try to use it to keep me going, but it’s always there no matter how much success I experience. I always feel like the next time around -- for instance the next season of Better Call Saul -- could be the one when people finally say “This guy sucks.” Here’s hoping that won’t happen. I can tell you for a fact that that fear drives me and Peter Gould to make sure that Season 2 will be every bit as good as Season 1.

quote:

I have to admit, a spin-off series about Gus Fring would be a good idea. There’s no perfect answer to that question, other than to say that creating a spin-off series related to Saul Goodman was an idea that we batted around pretty much since the creation of the character. We always loved writing for Saul Goodman throughout the run of Breaking Bad. Now we find writing for Jimmy McGill, he’s so good with words that writing his dialogue is great fun, too. But you’re right, Gus could carry his own story. I wish there were more hours in the day, so that we’d be able to do ALL these shows!

quote:

Anybody and everybody. The sky’s the limit! That’s the beauty of this format. The story takes place six years in the past, where all the Breaking Bad characters are alive and well, but that’s not to promise that you’ll see every character that we introduced in Breaking Bad. We’re still feeling our way through Jimmy McGill’s format, discovering how and why he becomes Saul Goodman -- and in the process, there's any number of directions our story can take. So I couldn’t really tell you even if I wanted to who will show up, or when. Better Call Saul is still very much a work in progress.

quote:

We thought Nacho would be more present in Season 1 as well. We did not shy away from using Nacho as a character -- and we love Michael Mando, who plays him. This is a great example of how -- like it or not -- a television story takes on a life of its own. As a writer, you have to follow the thread of the story you’re writing, even if that means spending less time with certain characters. In other words -- to put it succinctly -- there was so much more story to tell relating to Jimmy and his brother Chuck that we writers found it hard to fit in more great moments from Nacho -- but don’t despair, you’ll be seeing much more of Nacho in Season 2. You heard it here first!

quote:

Thank you. Believe it or not, the idea of Chuck being the “bad guy” was a late addition to Season 1. We were probably working on episode 7 when the idea dawned on us that Chuck had been the reason Jimmy had never moved forward at HHM. When that idea dawned on Peter Gould and I, along with our writers, we got very excited. But back to an earlier answer, this points out one of the things I love most about writing for TV. There are enough episodes and enough lead time (if you’re lucky) for writers to change the direction of a story midstream. We took advantage of that in Season 1 of Better Call Saul, and in the past for Breaking Bad. It’s a great creative opportunity to have at one’s disposal

quote:

I wish I knew! Although, I’m certainly glad viewers did connect with Walter White. In the early days of the series -- when I was at my most foolish -- I deliberately tried to make Walter White so unlikeable that his behavior would shed viewers. In hindsight, I think that was extraordinarily dumb of me, but I have to admit that by the end of the series, I myself did not have a whole lot of sympathy for Walter White.

For me, he had gotten too dark to empathize with, which is not to say viewers should all feel the same way I do. I’m glad viewers still rooted for him up till the end and wanted him to live. Hell, even my mom did! And if you knew her, you’d be pretty shocked she would root for a guy like that. I think Walter White was smart, active, willful -- and that’s what we look for in our heroes. The fact that he was engaged in some pretty heinous criminal behavior might have been a bit beside the point. He nonetheless had many other qualities that we deem heroic in fiction. Maybe that’s why people stuck with him.

Certainly people stuck with Walter White because he was played by the astoundingly talented Bryan Cranston, who remains constantly watchable no matter what character he is playing.

Ik wantrouwde Chuck ook al vanaf het begin, maar dat was dus kennelijk aanvankelijk niet de bedoeling van de schrijvers. Wel goed dat ze zo flexibel zijn in hun schrijven.

Behoorlijk knap inderdaad. Als ze mij hadden verteld dat BB eerst in grote lijnen al geschreven was voordat seizoen 1 begon, had ik het ook geloofd. Dat ze bijvoorbeeld Walter een M60 laten kopen in de eerste aflevering van het laatste seizoen, terwijl ze zelf nog niet weten waarom of waarvoor, vind ik toch wel erg bijzonder. Hetzelfde geldt voor de flashbacks in het begin van seizoen 2, met die teddybeer in het zwembad. Die hele vliegtuigcrash en de aanleiding daartoe was toen nog niet eens geschreven.
